You know it's alright, it's okay
It feels way too early to be awake. Part of it is that my sister is sleeping in with a nasty headache, so I'm the only one currently up, and it feels weird on a Tuesday. Part of it is that I got up a little early to avoid the cat wanting to sleep on my fifteen minutes before the alarm was due to go off. I didn't want her to settle in and have to move her to get up.
I feel a little less tired than I did yesterday. I don't know what it was, but I was just exhausted yesterday. It might have been an incoming migraine, which hit around 1:30. I quit work early at 2 and laid down for a bit. It helped ease it back until about 6, when it came roaring back. That time, I gave up and went to bed. This is where our room being in the basement helps. It's cool and always dim, and that was exactly what I needed. Add to that a muscle relaxant and Ambien and it was nap time. It's still a little tender this morning, but nowhere near as bad.
Okay, coffee has been obtained. At least the first cup. The second will be imbibed around 7:30, just before I have to start work. I am a creature of habit.
My Audible book came in this morning, the Bloggess'(aka Jenny Lawson's) new book "Broken: In the Best Possible Way." I'm thinking about listening to it while I work today, but if it's like her previous books, this could lead to me laughing my face off whilst trying to do my job, so we'll see. I've really enjoyed the audiobooks of her two prior books. They're read by the author, so it really feels like she's inviting you to laugh at her foibles and letting you visit for a while.
You wouldn't think that a book that's primarily about mental illness would be so funny, but you'd be wrong. They're by turns funny and sweet, and moving. When I'm feeling really down, I'll put on "Furiously Happy," and remind myself that all things pass. I'm hoping the new book becomes that same sort of comfort read.
The last book I read like this was the new Hyperbole and a Half book, and that was a little too dark for me. Well earned dark, because the author seems to have gone through a lot of shit, but it left me more depressed than when I started. Here's hoping this one is better.
Okay, I think I need to check in on my sister and see if she's getting up today, or if she's calling out of work. She normally leaves for work at 7:15, and it's currently 6:45.
